Charles Layton spent most of his life searching-for a place to belong and for peace from his past, including a tumultuous upbringing. Then he was drafted into the Army and in 1951, he and thirty-six other soldiers were captured during the Korean War. A daring escape, led by Layton, ended their seventeen weeks in captivity. Yet, his actions caused him decades of guilt. With heart-wrenching true stories in "Escaped with Honor," Layton takes readers on a journey through his dismal childhood, adventurous teen years and agonizing war experiences. During his search for a place to belong, he also found the pathway to peace and faith.
